Terapias is the Spanish word for "therapies". It's a powerful and strikingly modern word that you don't often hear in a song, immediately signaling a story of deep emotional struggle.
In this ballad, Mon Laferte sings about everything she had to endure after a painful relationship: "Las terapias, los amores de mentira..." (The therapies, the fake loves...). This single word paints a vivid picture of the healing process, making the song's raw and honest story incredibly intriguing.
Mi Buen Amor is a fiery, dramatic pop duet where Mon Laferte puts her foot down against an ex who keeps boomeranging back into her life. Even though she calls him "Mi buen amor" ("My good love"), the title drips with irony. He wants to drop in for "una Ăşltima noche" ("one last night") and expects her to play along "como si nada, nada, nada yo sintiera" ("as if I felt nothing at all"). She calls him out on his habit of walking away whenever he wants, only to pop back up and demand affection without offering anything in return.
What makes this track hit so hard is how blunt she gets about the messy work of moving on. She lists the aftermath of their breakup: "las terapias, los amores de mentira, más mentiras" ("the therapy sessions, the fake lovers, more lies"). When he tries the classic move of asking to stay friends ("ahora quieres que sea tu amiga"), she fires back with genuine frustration: "Pues amigo, dime cómo borro esto que siento" ("Well friend, tell me how I erase what I feel"). Joined by Spanish rock veteran Enrique Bunbury, she turns a toxic cycle into a massive vocal showdown about knowing someone will never change.
